- A cornerstone for reliable and fair journalism in Finland is the unique self-regulating and independent committee of the Council for Mass Media (CMM) which has for decades been overseeing editorial ethics and is a highly valued industry standard. We are a member of the CMM and committed to the Guidelines for Journalists. These principles guide all our journalistic work. We follow and annually report all CMM cases so that we can advance professional ethics.
We increase awareness, empathy and tolerance with our journalism
